“…Contemporary ecosystems are perceived to focus more on technology‐based and high growth start‐ups, with little in the way of services and support for the ventures of the poor. The needs of these ventures (microcredit programs, literacy training, entrepreneurship seminars tailored to the poverty context, incubator space, mentors, vouchers for transport, daycare, or to pay for services—e.g., legal, accounting, marketing) are generally not available in local entrepreneurial ecosystems (Neumeyer et al ), creating frustration among the low‐income entrepreneurs, and requiring students to adapt strategies and solutions to fill these gaps.…”

Empowerment is an important but understudied phenomenonExperiential Learning in entrepreneurship education. We integrate literatures on empowerment theory and experiential learning to propose a conceptual model of empowerment‐based entrepreneurship education. The concept of entrepreneurial empowerment is introduced as a cognitive state characterized by meaning, competence, self‐determination, and impact toward entrepreneurial activities. The model proposes that empowerment has a mediating role in the relationship between experiential learning approaches in a poverty context and the acquisition of learning outcomes. The model is illustrated using an entrepreneurship and adversity program that supports local low‐income individuals in starting and growing their ventures.

“…McAdam et al () in a study of women only networks found women have an inability to access economic and social capital to establish themselves as credible entrepreneurs. This is supported by Neumeyer, Santos, Caetano, and Kalbfleisch () in a study of social network data from two municipal ecosystems finding that women have different network connectivity.…”

There has been an increased interest in women's entrepreneurship research due to the changing sociocultural conditions in the global marketplace. Despite this trend, there is still a lack of understanding about the role women entrepreneurs play in the internationalization process of firms. The aim of this article is to systematically review the literature on women's entrepreneurship and internationalization by examining the trends in the research. A bibliometric analysis is conducted on articles in the Web of Science databases to understand which researchers are publishing the most and how they are related to other researchers in the field. In addition, a content analysis of the articles from the bibliometric analysis is conducted that reveals three main clusters from the research: (a) epistemological position and gender, (b) cultural and social reasons for the creation of businesses, and (c) motivations, business characteristics, and performance. From the bibliometric and content analysis, implications for policy makers and future research directions for women's entrepreneurship and internationalization patterns are stated.

“…Also, as the benefits and outcomes of sustainable entrepreneurship may accrue more collectively or focus on common goods, sustainable entrepreneurs may have difficulty capturing value from their innovations (Dean & McMullen, 2007;York & Venkataraman, 2010). It follows from this reasoning that sustainable entrepreneurs may require different ecosystems where actors interact and provide support in significantly different ways than in traditional entrepreneurial ecosystems (Autio et al, 2018;Neumeyer & Santos, 2018).…”

Sustainability and economic growththe integration and balance of social, environmental and economic needs is a salient concern for sustainable development and social well-being. By focusing on a sustainable innovation project, we explore how entrepreneurial ecosystems become sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems and investigate the interactions of entrepreneurial actors. We conducted an inductive, single-case study of a specific collaborative innovation project in the denim industry specialized in a specific geographic location. From our data we show that the presence of four conditional aspects foster sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems. These include: sustainability orientation of actors, recognition of sustainable opportunities and resource mobilization, collaborative innovation of sustainability opportunities and markets for sustainable products. We make two observations that contribute to the literature. First, we see that in a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem, entrepreneurial experimentation is a highly interdependent and interactive process. Secondly, we see that recognition of sustainable opportunities is distributed among different actors in the ecosystem. Our findings also have implications for practitioners and policy makers.
